Abstract:

In this brief paper, the author argues that in order to further our understanding of the relationship between music and technology we must avoid a perspective that leads to a schism between traditional music (the result of a disciplined human expression) and computer music (whose outcome is simply technologically determined). He contextualises his argument through the concept of the digital and the tactile suggested by Deleuze.
